You do not necessarily have to come from a financial services background, but if you have had exposure to investment banking or wealth management software we would love to hear from you.

The core language of this team is Python, hosted in AWS, but we would also be keen to speak to people with a Java background particularly if you can demonstrate knowledge of data ingestion and pipelines.

You will have…

  • Demonstrable experience leading teams of engineers, distributed or otherwise and excellent communication skills
  • An excellent track record in a hands on software engineering role prior to moving into leadership
  • The desire to solve complex problems, quickly, in a constantly evolving environment.

The salary and overall compensation for this role are market leading for the Edinburgh market and this role will require a minimum of two days per week in office. If you would like to find out more you can contact me on nick.gillen@harevynash.com or
